"I'm really happy with all the games I played in Stuttgart this week, especially the final. When I woke up, honestly, I didn't feel that fresh physically.
I felt several pains after the first steps. But I also think you have to get used to this kind of pain."
Elena Rybakina, in a press conference, explained all the efforts needed to win the WTA tournament in Stuttgart.
"It's not always ideal to push yourself physically for all these matches. Winning them, however, allows me to find the best form. However, I prefer to be 100% ready, because the preparation for the clay season was too short. I started well on clay and I hope to continue like this. I have to have this patience during long rallies for the rest of the tournaments,” she said.

Rybakina is convinced that she too can triumph at the Roland Garros.
"I always believe in myself, but it's not all up to me. There are many great players on clay. But if I'm physically fit and if I stay healthy, I have the chance to win Slams on any surface," she explained.
